Chick Crush Honorable Mentions Part 1

So, I had so many people to choose from that I thought I would throw in just a few more of my favorite people. These are my "honorable mentions". People I love for being gorgeous or funny, or because I love their movies/tv shows, etc.

Reese Witherspoon - one of my favorite funny girls.

Emma Watson - such a cute young actress. look forward to upcoming movies.

Isla Fisher - another favorite funny girl.

Elle Mcpherson - love her fashion choices.

Diane Kruger - ummm gorgeous!

Lea Michele - GLEE! love her voice.

Jessica Stroup - not many people can pull off her haircut.

Ellen Pompeo - Grey's is one of my favorite shows EVER!

Katy Perry - sometimes you just need a fun song.

Kristen Bell - fun and free and funny.

Zoey Deschanel - such an individual.

Not like the movies

Let's face it...life is not like the movies.

The songs Not like the Movies by Katy Perry and If this was a Movie by Taylor Swift sort of sum it up. At one point or another we kind of all wish for that fairy tale ending...or for the guy to be standing outside your window begging for you to come back to him. But in reality, they're going to let you get on the plane and leave. No one is going to come running down the terminal after you. No one is going to be standing outside with a boombox over his head.

That's sort of why the movies the "The Break Up" and "The Last Kiss" sort of hit home more for me...or maybe why I guess I can relate more to music than I can to movies. They seem to get it "more right". Now the song Last Kiss by Taylor Swift might have it right. You can plan for a change in the weather...but you probably didn't plan on him changing his mind. I'm not trying to be all depressing and melodramtic, but it's just true. We get so caught up in the romance of movies, but I just don't feel like it happens in real life. Take it from the movie "He's Just Not That Into You"...it's the exception, not the rule. Real life goes a little like this...you date someone for three years, and then you fight over something so stupid (lemons maybe?), or the person just doesn't change, or etc, and you break up and run into them on the street a couple of months later and say hi and thats it. Then at the end of that movie, you never find out what happens, because you probably hang out once or twice or go through a whole back and forth thing again and nothing ever happens. He doesn't sweep her off her feet and then they get married...he doesn't chase her down after she walks out of the apartment because he knows he's going to lose the best thing that ever happened to him, and he definitely doesn't do some crazy ariel jump across a building or what not to save her and tell her he loves her. Ok, he doesn't even show up with flowers to take her to the prom when they're 18 etc...

Besides, in the movies they never show the other girl who gets hurt when the "good" couple gets back together. What about her? Like in "Sweet Home Alabama"...what about her finance? I feel bad for him? He was in love with her...bought her an AMAZING Tiffany's ring! and then just gets dropped...but you're just supposed to be happy for the two that get back together. I love this movie, don't get me wrong. I'm just in one of the moods and thinking about the other side.

Anyway, as Taylor Swift and Katy Perry alude to, hoping for the best is all we can do. I guess that's one message they could be trying to get across. Or maybe just realizing what is reality. "If this was a movie, you'd be here by now..." Maybe Taylor means that we have to get over a childish dream and make our own life happen. He isn't showing up, he isn't going to come say sorry, or admit his mistake...so now she has a choice to make. Move on, or just keep waiting for something that probably won't happen. And maybe when Katy says, "If it's not like the movies, then that's how it should be...", she's saying don't settle. He's probably not going to run to your rescue or do some huge grand gesture to tell you he loves you, but you should feel the same way that you would if he did. Besides, if you don't have that amazing feeling, why are you with that person? Everyone deserves to be with someone that makes them the happiest person alive...to be with someone who will be there whenever you need them...and who would do anything for you...even if it's just in small ways, and not the way that the movies portray it. I guess I don't need someone to stop a plane for me. I just want someone to jump start my car when my battery dies...and hold me when I need a hug. I just want someone to stay. I don't want someone to have to chase me if I walk out the door, because I don't want a reason to walk out the door.

Anyway...those are my thoughts...

Grammy's...a little late

Grammy's 2011

I just felt that since I didn't have to work today I would take it upon myself to judge some outfits from the Grammy's. I know it was a week ago, but better late than never right...besides, I'm probably nice than Perez. haha. My worst dress and best dressed come later. Here are just some that caught my eye.

First though...

Rihanna

This is the biggest disappointment of the night...REALLY?? What is this? I couldn't even put this in my worst dressed category because it's so bad. I had to "feature" this. She usually is so good. It's some see-through ruffly crap of a dress. Also it looks like she didn't even brush or color her hair for it. So sad...

LeAnn Rimes

I like the dress a lot, but she looks way too skinny. I think maybe her look would have been better if she had softer hair also.

Jewel

I like this dress. I think she looks like she was going for the greek look, but it's simple and it's a good color on her.

Dianna Argon

Usually she looks really pretty, but I think I like her better when her makeup is softer. I think she looks pretty and I like the outfit, but I'm not in love with her hair. I actually liked her better live on tv than in these pictures also.

Eva Longoria

Not a big fan tonight. I think the dress looks too 80s. She also looked better live on tv than in these pictures. I think her hair would have looked better if it was softer as well. I think her makeup is pretty though.

Jennifer Hudson

Not my favorite dress, but she looks amazing. The dress looks good on her and her face is gorgeous.

Kelly Osbourne

I really don't like her, but I do like this dress. I think she could have done something different with her hair. But I love her shoes.

Lea Michele

Not loving the hair or lips, but I do think the dress is very interesting. It looks good on her. Stunning.

Selma Blair

Such a cute dress for a pregnant person. I think she looks great.

Nicole Kidman

I love this dress. She always wears such simple things, so I really like this choice. It's very different and I love the color. It looks so good against her hair. She looks amazing.

Jennifer Lopez

I think she kind of looks like a giant disco ball, but I like it! I would totally wear it! And she freaking looks amazing! But I do think her extensions are a little bit too long!

The Worst:

Lady Gaga

She is just crazy...she literally came in in this egg. Then she "incubated" in the back until her preformance....there's not a lot to say.

Miley Cyrus

The dress itself wouldn't be that bad, if she wasn't like sucked into it and her boobs weren't popping out. This picture doesn't show it as much, but I couldn't bring myself to put that on my blog. Also she has WAY too many bangles on.

Ciara

WTH? That's all. Disappointed.

Katy Perry

This could have been worse too...but really? Wings and a bare tummy? I don't know...she's usually really pretty, but her face just looks tired or something.

Hayley Williams

Her stomach panel is see through...she's got like pink feathers or something at the bottom, but it clashes with her bright red hair, which has really short bangs...and the red lipstick...I just...ugh.

Nicki Minaj

I don't even have anything to say about this. It's just bad.

Snooki

What are her shoulder pad things doing? This could have gone in a lot better direction, but it didn't. She just overall doesn't look very good. I guess I've seen her look worse though.

My Favorites:

Selena Gomez

She actually isn't my favorite person...I can't really put my finger on why...maybe because her disney show is sort of annoying, but I actually think she is really pretty, and I just thought her dress choice was great. I loved it.

Florence Welch

Ahh...loved this dress. It's totally unique and interesting. I love the colors and the fabric.

Miranda Lambert

Love this dress. 3 of my top dresses are gold glitter, which is sort of funny, but gold was a big color this year and the dresses were amazing that were picked. This looks great on her.

Mya

Silver Sparkles...not much to say. I just think she looks amazing.

Heidi Klum

She totally redeemed herself after the Golden Globes! I LOVE THIS DRESS! So glamourous. I can't decide between this one and Kim's below.

Kim Kardashian

I absolutely love this dress too, and her hair. I think she looks fabulous.
